Human Services (not Human Resources) will calculate the amount of the overpayment that resulted from this, and take various actions to collect that amount, including recoupment from future assistance payments, interception of tax refunds and other government payments and, sometimes, referral for criminal prosecution.
As long as the obligor made the child support payments in the amount AND IN THE MANNER PRESCRIBED by the order, there should be no adverse consequences to him.
In all the cases I've seen, the father is reordered to pay for the same time period, regardless of proof, plus future support. The mother may or may not be punished for doing this. In one case in KCMO, the father was ordered to pay $25,000 for the same time period, plus fines and jail for punching the judge.

No, support payments must be rendered to the custodial parent or legal guardian or authorized state agency.
No - indeed, some jurisdictions will prosecute for this.
No, not unless they are specifically addressed in the child support order. The obligor does not have the right to designate where child support payments will go.

The involved party will need to discuss the matter with the ADA in charge of the case. If child support has been under the supervision of the state and/or there are arrearages the case will not be dismissed upon the request of the custodial parent.
No. She has no legal responsibility to support the children. Only the biological parents have any responsibility for child support.
Most likely, no. But the custodial parent could (possibly) get a court order for them to pay it. Most people would just be satisfied to have the payments resume and not request back payments.
The new husband is not responsible for the NCP's unpaid child support.
The custodian of the children is entitled to the child support payments. The only way to keep the mother from getting the child support payments would be to have the grandparents petition the court for custodial rights - which could be extremely difficult, depending on your state.
Yes, that is money not belonging to you.
Yes, as they are separate issues. However, a custodial parent can request a child support order at any time. Also, some jurisdictions do not allow parents to decide that the non-custodial parent will not pay child support. The view is that every child is entitled to be supported by both parents. If the custodial parent doesn't need it then the payments should be placed in a savings account to pay for college. Also, if the custodial parent and child are receiving any assistance then the non-custodial parent will be required make payments to the state.
